I've seen it a few times over the years and my only thought has been, "Why the heck would you want to shoot off-center?"

Why even say this? Once you put the idea in the player's head trouble can follow. As for how to handle it, there's nothing in the rule book covering contact with a FT shooter. My first thought would be to invoke 2-3 and call an intentional foul on the defender as well as a FT violation for disconcertion.
